"Bullseye change" reshapes today's Sniper ■ PLA Daily reporter laiwenyong special correspondent liaoxiaobin correspondent zhangyiyu The sniper team took action. Photographed by Jin Yukai On the first day of the intensive training, several courses took turns The first sniper training lesson of a brigade of the 73rd group army started from the sleep of the team members. The silence of the night was broken by a sudden explosion. "Assemble fully armed!" Yangmeihua, the instructor of the training team, woke the team members from their sleep. Turning tires, carrying logs, and pushing fierce men's carts... On the training ground, extreme physical fitness courses took turns. "On the battlefield, the enemy will not give you time to rest and prepare!" The team members were exhausted. The teachers didn't give them a break at all. The roars and urging echoed in their ears. Two hours later, the team members did not wait for the expected "dissolution", but were "thrown" into the deep forest. The sky was a little white and everything was quiet. Hidden in the dense forest, the team members could almost hear their hearts beating. The teachers formed a search team and began to search. The rustling sound of footsteps formed a silent sense of oppression, which filled the air. In the dim light, corporal chenchuanqing dimly saw that the searchers were slowly approaching him... He had to lower his body, and his whole face was almost stuck in the soil. In the dense forest, this group of young snipers not only have to face the siege and interception of the search team, but also have to face the problems caused by the heat and humidity and the bites of snakes and insects. Not far away, private xuekunlin disguised himself with branches. At this time, many fire ant nests were scattered in the hiding place he chose. Within 10 minutes, xuekunlin's waist was pricked like a needle "All arrangements are made to give the team members an intuitive impression of the real battlefield." Jijiaming, the leader of the training team, said frankly that in order to let the participants quickly enter the situation, they collected a large number of case data and set up real-world training scenes to maximize the participants' awareness of the battlefield environment. As time went by, xuekunlin's skin became red and swollen due to the bite of fire ants, Sergeant Xie Lu's elbow was cut by gravel, and his camouflage clothes were stained with blood... On the first day of the training, these outstanding people who had been selected from the grass-roots battalions and companies had never thought they would look like today. After the first day of training, the team members began to re-examine this "special" sniper training - shooting is not just aiming at the bull's-eye. "The mission requirements of the future battlefield for the sniper are constantly updated, so the 'bull's-eye' targeted by the sniper should also be continuously updated." Chenwenguang, chief of the reconnaissance section of the brigade, said that this training is to abandon the traditional training mode, jump out of the "template", break the "routine", and let the participants really have a "bull's-eye" remodeling. The first player eliminated turned out to be a "sharpshooter" No one expected that the first player eliminated in this training was a "sharpshooter". Corporal Xiao Chen has excellent shooting skills and is the seed player in everyone's mind. In a training, Xiao Chen was eliminated first because of his carelessness. "In modern warfare, the sniper should not only be able to kill important targets with one sword, but also act as the commander's' eyes and ears' and 'external brain', guide the fire attack and evaluate the damage effect. The shooting technique, physical fitness, tactics and psychological quality are indispensable." Chenwenguang, chief of the reconnaissance section of the brigade, said that a qualified sniper is not only a "sharpshooter" in the simple sense, but also a camouflage expert, survival expert and tactical expert. Turning to the new version of the regulations of the Chinese people's Liberation Army on military training (Trial), the reporter saw that the standard and difficulty of sniper training are higher, "ring number" is no longer the only evaluation standard, and comprehensive quality has become a threshold that must be crossed. This is also the ultimate goal of this training: to change the traditional mode and focus on the actual "bull's-eye". The sun scorched the earth, and the billowing heat wave was mixed with dust. At this time, it was more difficult to find the small target. "The light here is strong, and the parameters are difficult to calculate..." corporal fengshuo finished the first round of bullets, and the target did not move. After a short thought, fengshuo did not choose to continue aiming and shooting, but turned to the ready shooting position on his knees. "This is only the 'select sniper position' item in the sniper tactics." Jijiaming introduced that in modern warfare, snipers are no longer just soldiers with accurate shooting skills, but elite special operations soldiers with comprehensive combat skills. Three kilometers after the attack, corporal Zhangxiqin crossed the barbed wire net, ground pile net and other obstacles and threw the simulated grenade into the bomb drop area 40 meters away. After a series of combined lessons, Zhang Xiqin's physical strength consumed more than half. At the moment, the rapid beating heart rate had a great impact on his gun stability. "The target is coming, ready to shoot." Before Zhangxiqin could catch his breath, the coach assigned the task again. With instinctive reaction, he quickly took the gun, aimed at it, and adjusted his breathing Zhangxiqin has participated in many sniper competitions and is also a sniper instructor in the camp. This assessment gave him a new taste: "not only does it depend on the accuracy, but also the comprehensive quality." This is also the profound meaning of this assessment: To investigate the snipers' tactical literacy in confirming target characteristics, planning mission routes, camouflage and concealment, reconnaissance and recording of enemy information, evacuation and transfer under special climate conditions. Although the assessment is cruel, it is a "required course" for every sniper The later the intensive training, the greater the intensity and difficulty. Continuous assessment becomes daily training, and diversified tactical background is integrated into every moment of intensive training. "Shooting Olympic champions is accurate, but they may not be able to complete combat tasks." Teacher Yang Yu explained the difference between "sharpshooter" and sniper with an analogy. Yang Yu told the reporter that with the continuous evolution of the war form, the sniper operation has been upgraded from a general cooperative operation to an independent operation style, even a decisive operation style. Therefore, the training of snipers has also established a practical yardstick and accelerated the transformation to diversification and scientization. Taking this training as an example, they used a heart rate tester to monitor the heart rate changes of the team members after the armed attack; Use the pain instrument to gradually strengthen the pain stimulation to the team members during sniping training, and test the ability to maintain accurate shooting in case of injury; Build a VR simulation training room to let the team members experience the complex battlefield environment It has been raining for days, and the mountains in Southern Fujian are foggy. After nearly three months of intensive training, the completion assessment arrived as scheduled. Next, the members of the training team will complete the tasks of searching targets, sniping targets and evacuating safely with only a hand-painted map and a few materials in the dense forest with a radius of 15 kilometers. Less than 1km from the start, corporal shengzijun's sniper team encountered a "special situation": a member of the team was hit by the "enemy" in the thigh, and the "wound" bled a lot, requiring emergency treatment. Weizongren, the team leader, organized people to fight back while bandaging and rescuing the "wounded". As their whereabouts were exposed, the team had to change its route and Trek Deep in the forest. In order to successfully pass through the "enemy" monitoring area, the team members quickly disguised themselves with branches and leaves. They were on the ground, crawling inch by inch. "Going deep behind the enemy lines, every move is related to the success or failure of the mission." Chenwenguang, chief of the reconnaissance section of the brigade, said that the dense forest environment has brought great challenges to the physical fitness and weapon performance of officers and soldiers. Whether we can cope with this environment will test the comprehensive quality of a sniper. It rained harder and harder, and the players' combat boots were covered with mud. After a hard journey, Sheng Zijun's sniper team finally reached the sniper position. Chen runben, the observer, went out to find out the "enemy situation". Sheng Zijun quickly set up a gun and disguised himself. He only exposed a round hole and pointed directly at the target area, ready to shoot the "enemy" at any time. Half an hour passed. In order to replenish the heat, chenrunben put a small compressed biscuit into Sheng Zijun's mouth, and Sheng Zijun chewed it slowly, his eyes never left the sight. An hour later, the command came: the target will enter the shooting area within 10 minutes. Sheng Zijun blinked, slightly turned his stiff body, gradually slowed down his breathing rate, and continued to search for the target through the sight. "Left cross wind, 2 meters per second, target 2..." after the target appeared, Chen runben quickly passed a brief message to shengzijun. Hold your breath, aim, lock and fire. The bullet will be fired out of the chamber and hit the bull's eye accurately. Then, they used the trigger firing device set in advance to camouflage the position, successfully confused the referee who was responsible for finding the sniper's position, and successfully evacuated and transferred. On the other hand, Yang Ruyi, the sniper of another team, although he completed the continuous course assessment, was out of the game because of the exposure of the sniper position. "Although the assessment is cruel, it is a 'compulsory course' for every sniper, because the elimination of war means death." According to Yang Yu, the criteria for promotion in this assessment can be called harsh. Only 8 of the 28 training team members passed the selection. The distant mountains stretch, and the setting sun gradually sets. With the completion of the examination, the day of intensive training came to an end. For these snipers, their "bull's-eye" reshaping road has just begun. Cold gun · hot blood ■ PLA Daily reporter laiwenyong correspondent lizhenbin chenxuhui The sniper of the volunteer army used a rifle and fired without fail. The enemy in the trench hundreds of meters away was shot dead. This is a scene that appears many times in the film sniper. The film is adapted from the group deeds of sharpshooters in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Compared with the sniper squad five in the movie, their archetypal characters are more legendary. In the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Zhang taofang killed 214 enemies, setting the highest record for the volunteer army to kill enemies with cold fire on the Korean battlefield; Zouxixiang was awarded the honorary title of "cold shot hero" by the headquarters of the volunteer army for his record of killing 203 enemy troops with 206 rounds of bullets... In fact, whether it is the artistic scene shown in the film sniper or the "sniper heroes" Zhang taofang and zouxixiang emerging in the battlefield, they are inseparable from the "cold shot" campaign carried out by the volunteer army. On the Korean battlefield in 1952, in view of the long-term confrontation between the enemy and ourselves, the volunteer army was limited to small-scale combat activities every day. In order to kill and consume a large number of the enemy, the volunteer army carried out the "cold gun cold gun" campaign, requiring the sharpshooters and sharpshooters to be organized, adopting the "zero crackdown on brown sugar" method of warfare, and more small-scale annihilation wars based on the guiding principle of taking small victories as big victories. At the same time, the volunteer army selected excellent snipers to introduce their operational experience, and did a good job of mentoring. Zouxixiang and zhangtaofang went to various positions to introduce sniper technology. In such an atmosphere, the whole army has emerged a number of sharpshooters and skilled gunners. In the film, the monitor liuwenwu said to chendayong, "no one is faster than your eyes. As long as your hands are not slow, you are 'hegemonic' than me." At that moment, chendayong took over from the monitor not only a pair of binoculars and a "spoon" for observation, but also the inheritance of the monitor's wisdom, will and blood. The transformation of light and shadow, the passage of time, from the past to the present, what has not changed is the inheritance of tactics and spirit. Today, Chen Dayong's "various sighting scopes, easy-to-use guns, and distance measuring instruments" have become a reality. "More steel, more Qi and harder bones." Snipers of the new era,
